Product Description
Gaggia Carezza Deluxe Manual Espresso Coffee Machine
The Gaggia Carezza Deluxe is the most technologically advanced of the manual machines that Gaggia make. It combines the tactile benefits of a manual machine, with many of the digital innovations of an automatic machine. The Carezza has a pre-infusion function for espresso, allowing the maximum flavour to be extracted from the coffee. Added to this is the Carezza's auto-clean function which gives the machine a quick rinse every time it is turned on.
The boiler is also a thermoblock boiler, meaning that steam and hot water are generated quickly and on-demand. This also reduces the overall power consumption of the machine, leading to energy efficient operation. The temperature of the boiler can be monitored on the Carezza Deluxe's inbuilt thermometer.

Top reviews from United Kingdom
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 June 2013Choosing this was a bit of a leap of faith, as it's a new product (late 2012, early 2013 I believe) and there aren't many reviews out there yet. There's a not-very-complimentary 'first look' on Which, that I disagree with now I've had it for a while. Among the criticisms were that the temperature gauge is not much use, and it's 'messy' and 'slow' to use. I'll try to refute these points.
A few negative points:
The machine is operated by push buttons which respond a bit sluggishly - certainly compared to switch-operated models I have used before. You get used to holding the button long enough for it to register. The machine won't operate if it is flashing an error, and - this could be that it is out of water, has been refilled after running on empty, or been out of use for a few days and needs to be 'primed'. That means leaving it on the coffee setting and shooting a jet of water into a cup from the steam nozzle until the error light goes out. Sometimes you have to turn the steam nozzle right off and on again before you get a jet. This was covered in the manual, so was expected. I've found the rubber insert for the single shot makes it sit a little high, and I've found it hard to get a good seal making singles.
Positives:
I liked the idea of a descale warning - I never descaled my old machine, which probably killed it - if it reminds me I might do it. The doser works best when filled and only gently tamped, or not tamped much at all - when you attach the handle this presses about a centimeter into the doser, and somewhat tamps it. So it shouldn't be messy to use, because you don't fill right to the brim, as on some. The temp gauge means you know for sure the machine is ready to make coffee (cooler) or froth milk (hotter), but the buttons won't work until the machine feels it's ready, anyway. If you want to go back to 'coffee temperature' from 'milk temperature', this being a single boiler, you can shoot a jet of water (as above) till the temperature comes down. The handle is sprung to prevent you forcing it, or at least reduce your force. The drips fall neatly into holes in the drip tray - no splatter! Coffee so far has been good - lots of crema, though rather 'bubbly' crema - I may need to tamp just a little more. Milk frothing has occasionally been brilliant, but sometimes I get it wrong - this is a skill. You have to stop before you hear a low-pitched growl and the milk overheats.
Looks good. Front loading water means little cause to move it around. Very pleased.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 November 2013Great machine, delivers nice coffee, looks good, sturdy. The water tank is easy to fill being front loaded. Not as noisy as my previous gaggia cubika. The porta filter is easy to insert and load. The milk frother is very good. The drip tray is efficient. It is quick to heat up. It is easy to clean.
All in all I am very pleased with the machine. Mine was shipped from Italy and only had a continental plug but my old cubika fitted as it is only a basic kettle lead.
The downsides are it goes off after nine minutes, this is too short a time especially when you want two cups after fifteen minutes you have to go through the process again. The cups do need to be warmed with hot water really as the coffee is not as hot as I would have liked, it is ok if you drink it immediately but if you are making a third espresso, the first one will have lost some heat. I would have liked the machine to have had a cup warmer but you can't have everything.All in all I am very happy with it
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 May 2014Got this machine back in Dec 2013 having never had a coffee making machine before.
Firstly just looks very stylish sitting on your kitchen work top doing nothing.
Once you've used it a few times the operation is fairly straight forward so that it doesn't feel like a chore. It actually makes a very nice coffee although it would be nice if the temperature of the coffee was higher. I would describe the temp as very warm, when dispensed ,so we tend to heat the milk up a bit more than recommended to make the final product a bit hotter when going for a capuccino. If you just like a straight black then this machine is probably not for you if you like it really hot, cos it just doesn't do hot. You have been warned!
The descaling process is a bit laborious when the descaling light comes on, but as i've just had a water softener system installed 3 weeks ago I should never have to do this thankless task again, it's really boring and seems to take forever, about 30 mins actually.( If you live in a hard water area like us really do think about installing a water softener, there great, no more limescale for ever, and the coffee, and tea from the kettle, still tastes great if not better than before, honestly,but I digress..)
The milk frother wand does a very good job making lots of frothy milk but you can't get the jug off the wand without tipping the whole machine slightly !!! Very irritating !!!! That is until I discovered on a Gaggia course that the external sleeve on the wand is not actually needed to get the same amount of milk frothiness! So take it off..... and because it reduces the overall length of the wand means you no longer have to tip the whole machine to get the jug off. Added bonus is that it's also one less item to clean afterwards so dont even know why they even bother to have it on in the first place?
One tip for the frother is to inntroduce the tip only of the forther to the milk to get the frothing started. Don't just plunge it into the bottom of your jug as doing this will heat the milk but not froth it very well, if at all!!!! So gradually introduce the tip further and further into the milk in stages for great results.
Also the frothing knob seems to suggest there is some contol over power output from it to adjust the level of steam but I'm afraid as someelse said it's all or nothing as trying to reduce it just ends up stopping it all together, so just whack it right open from the start.
All in all I like this machine now I know how to work it properly, and it does make a nice coffee as long as you don't want it very hot so I wouldn't put anyone off from buying it.
The only thing thats a real waste of time with it is the heat plate on top which is supposed to keep your cups warm on top whilst frothing milk or whatever. This takes far to long to warm up form turning the machine on so in my opinion is a complete waste of time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cafetera de brazo Gaggia
Tenemos dos cafeteras como esta, y hemos tenido que devolver algunas porque les faltaba los accesorios de las cápsulas monodosis E.S.E, decir que Amazon nos hizo descuentos por la falta de piezas, pero si haces cuentas no sé si compensa, ya que Amazon tiene esas piezas, pero no te las envían, has de buscarlas y pedirlas.
Por lo que me ha compensado buscar otras que viniesen completas.
Antes de esta, tenía una Bialetti Tazzona, y estaba muy contenta con ella, un café muy bueno, me duró 15 años, por lo que encontrar una que la igualase era muy difícil.
Cuando encontré esta tenía mis dudas porque la comparaba con la anterior, pero decir no solo que lo hace bueno el café, si no que lo supera, ojalá que nos dure tanto como la anterior y no tenga problemas en caso de necesitar repuestos.
La recomiendo de todas, todas, buenísimo el café y la espuma de la leche.

5.0 out of 5 stars bella funzionale e dal caffè come al bar
The media could not be loaded.
a parte le battute sono molto ma molto soddisfatta di questo acquisto.
La macchina da caffè è come la volevo io la degna erede della mia vecchia adorata macchina da caffè che abbiamo mandato in pensione.
Esteticamente cosa che non gusta mai è bella e si adatta a qualsiasi stile di cucina
che tu abbia una cucina stile moderno o stile rustico questa sta bene sempre.
è compatta il giusto ed è bella.
pratico il manometro che riporta la temperatura raggiunta dalla macchina da caffè.
Ho sempre apprezzato e continuo a farlo il portafiltro pressurizzato.
Allora vi riporto subito due consigli cosi che non facciate l'errore che ho fatto io che avevo letto troppo velocemente il manuale ed ero caduta in inganno dando tutto per scontato.
troverete due filtri . il primo quello piu profondo è il filtro che userete per fare il caffè che sia una dose o due dosi
Deciderete voi la quantità di caffè e poi grazie alla pressione che il sistema fà sul portafiltro si adatta da solo.
l'altro filtro che io pensavo fosse per un caffè fate attenzione è solo per usare le cialde.
in questo secondo caso dovete prendere il portafiltro , inserire la guarnizione simil plastica grigia sul fondo e poi inserire il filtro piccolo per le cialde e tutto funziona perfettamente.
Questo lo so perchè come vi spiegavo avevo letto velocemente il manuale ed ero caduta in inganno.
Cosi prima ho contattato l'assistenza Amazon che se dovessi dare delle stelle non basterebbe un firmamento sono sempre gentili disponibili e tanto pazienti (faccio acquisti on line e il servizio Amazon credetemi non lo batte nessuno) anche se nel caso specifico ovviamente mi è stato consigliato di contattare direttamente il numero di assistenza della casa produttrice e devo dire che ho avuto una esperienza molto bella.
Ho parlato con una signora che parlava benissimo italiano mi ha non solo spiegato ma mi ha mandato un sms cosi che con il cellulare si è collegata e in video chiamata gli ho mostrato la macchina da caffè e mi ha consigliato cosa fare nel migliore dei modi. Ne sono rimasta molto ma molto soddisfatta .
Nota importante ho scoperto che è bene usare le cialde modello ESE sono giuste per spessore e dimensione altre tipologie di cialde potrebbero rovinare il filtro.
Complimenti alle due assistenze Amazon e Gaggia .
Tornando alla macchina da caffè , trovo molto utile il prelavaggio che pulisce e scalda la macchina rendendo il caffè buono e cremoso già dalla prima erogazione. Attenzione che ovviamente farà uscire dell'acqua circa un mezzo bicchiere perciò io di standard ho trovato una bella tazza grigia che tengo sempre sotto cosi che ogni volta che si accende e parte la pulizia acqua va direttamente nella tazza. NB potete se preferite disabilitare questa opzione ma io vi consiglio per la qualità finale di lasciarla.
La temperatura del caffè è ben calda e come vedrete dal video esce un caffè molto cremoso.
Mi piace inoltre che sono io a decidere l'altezza del caffè .
una volta avviata l'erogazione basterà ripremere il pulsate per arrestarlo.
è presente un allarme che si attiverà nel caso vada fatta la decalcificazione e un allarme che segnala se la macchina da caffè si è surriscaldata
il surriscaldamento è abbastanza scontato dopo aver fatto il cappuccino ( il latte l'ho monta molto bene anche se uso il parzialmente scremato)poi raffreddarla è una procedura molto veloce .
l'unica cosa che dovrò prenderci l'abitudine e che potrebbe essere l'unica nota da migliorare è il serbatoio dell'acqua. Io sono abituata a contenitori ampi e posti dietro la macchina .
In questo caso si infila da davanti e non aspettatevi un contenitore molto grande ma ripeto è solo da prenderci la mano anche perchè forse è decisamente meglio così . l'acqua non rimane a lungo inutilizzata nel contenitore e si vede bene dall'esterno il livello.
Sono anzi siamo tutti in famiglia veramente molto soddisfatti di questa scelta
spero che i consigli che vi ho riportato vi siano stati di aiuto , nel caso grazie 👇

5.0 out of 5 stars Good price
It is an excellent product. I have been using it for 2 months now. It has reasonable steam power. Not that easy to steam milk . But it is an excellent product. I really like it. It makes good espresso. If it had more steam power I would really appreciate it . But for the price it is an excellent product. A fact to be noted is that the temperature of the espresso is around 67 to 77 degrees Celsius, which may be a problem for some. I would also recommend changing the crema perfetta portafilter to normal portafilter, I bought an edesia espress 53mm portafilter for gaggia machines from desertcart. ae . The edesia espress 53mm portafilter has a nice weight to it, and it feels solid. Another thing I didn't like is the fact that they didn't extend the tip of the steam wand, because I usually drink a 250 ml latte . So it makes it more difficult to to steam milk if the milk is half of the milk pitcher. The steam wand is not long if you remove the panerrelo. I still love my gaggia carezza deluxe . It is great product
